Writing

Are you too busy to write a blog? Too overwhelmed to write website copy? Or just too concerned about taking time away your core competency to focus on writing projects? Whatever has led you to consider hiring a writer — you’ll be in good hands with me.

My experience as a journalist means I have great interviewing and research skills — and I never miss deadlines. You may be surprised at how my “outsider’s perspective” will resonate with your target audience. Your copy will be more than competent; it will be compelling.

Editing

Are you tired of worrying about comma placement or a little rusty when it comes to English grammar? Let’s team up! You write the draft — focusing on the big picture — and then I’ll tackle the details as your editor.

My focus will be on the clarity of your verbiage. In addition to eliminating message-distracting typos, misspellings, and grammar errors, I’ll ensure your copy flows as it should, makes sense, and is consistent. I do the “heavy lifting,” but you get the kudos.

Speaking

Does the thought of sitting through a presentation about writing bring back not-so-great memories of high school English classes? You needn’t worry about people’s eyes glazing over in boredom if you book me as a speaker at your company or organization.

My spirited presentations are well-received by audiences of professionals who realize how important good writing is to their career success. I provide writing tips that are practical and easy to implement — so anyone can be a more confident writer.

So, You Want to Write a Book — or You’ve Written One

It’s easier than ever to become a published author today. Whether you need help getting started and creating the copy or seek someone to edit your completed manuscript, I’ll be happy to assist as your ghostwriter or editor.

What I offer is excellently noted by Judy McKee, co-author of The Positive Coach Approach:

“ Adrienne did a magnificent job editing our book. We’re trainers and speakers, NOT writers. She made the work seem effortless. We put down what we wanted to say and she made it sound good, so now it makes sense to anyone who reads it. “

“ If you have something to say with a book, let Adrienne put it into the words that will make a difference and still never lose your voice. We have a much bigger income flow by having this book — and a big reason for that is because Adrienne ‘translated’ our raw draft into great copy. ”

Because I wanted to be sure the information in my book was presented as clearly as possible — and without distracting grammar errors — I hired Adrienne as my editor, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Her passion about words was evident, as was her English language expertise. She was very responsive, and her business savvy allowed her to understand my content and offer valuable input.
